    God's word compels Christians to work for justice in society, especially for those who are most vulnerable.

    God Loves Justice I would like to talk to you a bit about the Bible. Not about a specific passage right this minute, but about the Bible in general. The Bible is broken into several sections or categories. Probably most of you know the biggest of the divisions, the OT and the NT. The OT concerns ...read more

    Relationship can be very complicated. Family members hate each other, siblings rival, friends unfriend each other, lovers quarrel. Christians are not exempted of these realities.  In any relationships, the key is to find your way back into love.

    # LOVE IS A PRIORITY, NOT AN ACCESSORY 1 Corinthians 13:1-3 1 If I speak (our words) in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 And if I have prophetic powers (when you operate in what God has given you), and understand all mysteries and all ...read more

    We hear all the time that we are to love each other, but what does that really mean? Today we are going to take a look at what Jesus might have meant by "loving each other as I have loved you."

    I wonder why it’s such a compliment to tell a woman she looks like a breath of spring, but not to tell her she looks like the end of hard winter. Isn’t that the same thing? I wonder why it pleases her to say time stands still when you look into her face, but not to say her face would stop a clock. ...read more
